St. Louis Zoo & Build a Bear

On Monday we went to the St. Louis Zoo. Thankfully we were there a couple of minutes before it opened because when we left at about 1:30 there wasn’t a parking spot for miles. We arrived there early so that we could get in free to the children’s zoo. Josiah was able to pet a gerbil and some goats which was pretty cool. We were able to enjoy a beautiful morning and see all of your typical zoo animals.

We also stopped at Build-a-Bear and made Josiah a bear that has a little shirt that says St. Louis Zoo on it.

After lunch we headed back to the hotel for some much needed relaxation and swimming/sitting in the hot tub.
